Perfect Through Suffering

Author: Unknown Hymnal: Glad Tidings in Song #98 (1921) First Line: God never would send you the darkness Lyrics: 1 God never would send you the darkness, If He felt you could bear the light; But you would not cling to His guiding hand, If the way were always bright; And you would not care to walk by faith, Could you always walk by sight. 2 ‘Tis true He has many an anguish For your sorrowful heart to bear, And there is yet many a cruel thorn-crown For your tired head to wear; He knows how few would keep close to Him, If pain did not guide them there. 3 So He sends you the great blinding darkness, And the furnace of seven-fold heat; Believe me, there is but this only way, To keep close to His feet, For always ‘tis easy to stray away, When our lives are glad and sweet. 4 Then nestle your hand in your Father’s, And sing if you can, while you go; Your song may cheer someone following you, Whose courage is sinking low; And well if your lips do tremble quite, God will love you better so.
